Voorheesville crash case is still in limbo

Every week I receive several emails and/or phone calls asking about where the investigation into the Voorheesville crash that killed three women last summer stands, and I’ve essentially had to give the same answer each time for the past 12 months: The driver, LuAnn Burgess, still has not been charged with any crimes or issued a traffic ticket, and it’s unclear why the case has now taken almost a year to investigate.

Exactly where the investigation stands at this point is a mystery as well, but people familiar with the case have told me that in recent weeks the DA’s office has been re-interviewing witnesses.

In Sunday’s paper I took a look back at the year since the crash. I spoke with relatives of the victims and looked at what local lawyers say Burgess could be charged with and what it would take to convict her.
